TAALK Talk About Abuse to Liberate Kids

1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys
will be sexually abused
before the age of 18

That’s 20% of our population!

20% of our children will be sexually abused
20% of our adults have been sexually abused

The Center for Disease Control estimates that 5-20% of the population will get the flu each season. Think of every person who told you that they had the flu this past year or that their spouse had the flu or maybe your own child said he or she had the flu.

Imagine if instead they said:I was sexually abused by my DadMy husband was raped by his priestMy teacher touches me down there

Now realize that those people are probably just a fraction of the people YOUknow who have experienced child sexual abuse. Just because you don’t know who they are, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. There are survivors all around you – in your community, in your neighborhood, and possibly even in your own home. Will you be the one to start TAALKing?
